To exercise the tools of this course.

Specific steps

Create an Ubuntu instance on AWS and log in.
Update the instance and install build-essentials and subversion.

Make a copy of [repo]/class/proj0 in [repo]/_your_username_/proj0 and commit.
Modify hello.c until make test reports you passed the test.
Commit.

Discussion

The provided hello.c is the template. Please modify to satisfy the test case. The Makefile provided has the default target to build the binary. The test target redirects output to the helloworld.out file and then compares the captured output to the reference output give in helloworld.ref. Differences will be reported. If the match, the diff program is silent.

The clean target removes build and test products. Never commit products! Commit only sources (in this project — Makefile, helloworld.c and helloworld.ref). Points off for committing build products.

See the original program on page 6 of The C Programming Language, by Kernighan and Ritchie.
